User's notes
Herbaceous trailing groundcover plant several patches of 0.25 to 0.5 sq.m, Reddish coloured foliage, leaves narrow about 2cm x 0.5cm. Clancy's track growing in open sunny position near Cherry Ballart tree. Several FoMM could not ID. Probably a local endemic, maybe in Heath family? No evidence of grazing even though nearby other plants are Heavily grazed here. Back of leaves distinctly different, waxy or furry ?

https://canberra.naturemapr.org/users/12141, would it be possible to take close up photos? perhaps cut a small piece and put on homogeneous background and take photos of both sides of leaves, and collect the cut piece for id (plastic bag, fridge). Good that more people take notice of the heavy grazing ...

An usually large clump - but otherwise features seem consistent with it being small St John's Wort
